http://www.grandfork...icle/id/230113/ More fear that is not real & why doesn't anyone talk about SL's lawsuit ? BECAUSE UND ADMIN. DOES NOT TALK ABOUT IT or try to rally anyone to talk about it in the national media - the media gets spoon fed the same ol crap (& even that is not very clear) One Sided Thank goodness this referral vote is happening or else the name would be dead & no one will eventually learn that it is really about SL doing the right thing - I know way to late, but all this had to play out & with most only hearing one side (Big Sky Falling) the real story is lost Come on Kelly & Fasion say if SL wins - you are for the name Fighting Sioux & will bring it back - Get the Big Sky Presidents to say the same thing & get the National Media on the real story - That SPIRIT LAKE TRIBE should have been all that was needed to keep the name & the referral vote will at least show how Standing Rock People would have voted Lets pressure the ncaa to admit the agreement was flawed & not fair & consistent The National media should be questioning the ncaa at every chance to find out why we & SL have been wronged You Big Sky worry warts should be asking the same questions instead of rallying to give up, when the best chance to save the name is still yet to come

Paranoia strikes deep Into your life it will creep It starts when you're always afraid

Not as Big of a deal as losing the name forever - wait until SL suit is over then either be happy or continue your sky is falling crusade

I think UND should be sanctioned & punished if they don't pick up most of the Tab for New Turf http://www.grandforksherald.com/event/article/id/230031/

I've been there hunting but never knew that - cool that they get it & are proud of who they are - Like we used to be - you better lobby the NDHSSA & get them to sanction them buncha flaming cowards around here

"I have a solution for the nickname-at-all-costers. UND can create an intramural team and call it the Fighting Sioux. After all, if they get their way that might be the highest level of sports that UND can offer. They can wear all their gear, go to the games, and yell Go Sioux all they want. All of the games could be held at Ralph Engelstad, in the big arena. That would satisfy everyone. How about it Fetch, does it work for you? And then the fans of the University of North Dakota can move on to compete in Division I. " I could go for that take it to H.S. sports too - but forget the D1 crapola - I even think average tax payers are getting so sick of sports that as soon as austerity measures kick in sports will be gone Then the AHL team will be even more popular & profitable

The 80's were harsh, all that new wave music & Boy George & George Michaels, Milli Vanilli - but try & learn from 82's bad habits & remember this is 2012 & not turn this into something about who can come up with the most condescending personal attack I do believe those playoffs were in D2 - we can survive until SL wins their lawsuit - if not have your own referral vote & stop the Big Sky from falling I will admit I liked Talking Heads & Men at Work & The Cars & the Police though

"Nickname supporters have disputed the likelihood or severity of those consequences and accused UND administrators and others of orchestrating a groundless fear campaign"

I want to enjoy Ralph's gift the way he intended it to be I can just see the ncaa & UND Admin. to keep pressuring the Ralph Arena folks to change it over to what ever name is chosen - They should never budge - But a AHL Team makes sense - I wonder how much that would cost & I see most AHL teams only average 6 to 7K Fans - so 10 or 11K should be attractive

Am I ? I hope you name changers can fill arenas & sell tickets when the Sioux Fans quit coming to your sporting events Time will tell

The new Hockey conference needs to get a team in a warmer climate so I can move there. Too bad the Ralph can't be moved too IF SL loses - Instead get the Chicago Blackhawks to bring in a AHL team & call them the Fighting Sioux & UND can lease them the Ralph, if or when they ever get the place Then you Big Sky is falling types can be the Flaming Spirits or what ever the PC folks will allow

pretty slick

This guy is making Ira's novels interesting

my name calling is generalized - & only after I get mud slinged personally at me - remember you get what you give

Then you will all change your tune & get behind SL ? & make sure if they win UND keeps the Fighting Sioux Name or are you natural born Losers

"a lot of them are people like you, people that have no allegiance to the school other than watching some sporting events." & get ready for what they are about to do come June

NO

You don't get it & this weak attempt to rebut shows that but I bet the Devil made you do it & I do believe this is not a University site or it would have been gone long ago

& like I've said if voting no against the referral was somehow tempered with some real honest support for the Spirit Lake Lawsuit then I say the referral vote should wait until SL wins & UND ADMIN. won't do the right thing & bring the name back This moving to remove the name before the fight is over is why so many name supporters no longer trust UND Admin. & are shocked so many of you have been led like sheep

I understand the facts perfectly & will not go negative until some Bozo chimes in then like I said You Get What You Give It's bigger than just UND now - It's also all Fans - People of ND - SL Tribe - Pride of Dakota not being put down & told what to do by ncaa It is worth fighting for & if we lose - the little damage can be repaired - But if we lose the Great Name & Logo is gone forever - wait & see how many will vote to keep it all alive - BECAUSE IT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO - YOU DON"T GIVE UP WHEN YOUR RIGHT & the only consequences are maybe this & that will happen for a year or so - In the end ND will do the right thing - you are just trying to force us to do it out of Fear

Hey I absolutely LOVE BUD LIGHT LIME & will fight to say so I guess I traded in my man card when it came out - most drinkable beer in the world

Your pretty insecure about greatness if you think fighting the ncaa & supporting SL will bring down UND - more fear mongering & rather run than fight

almost 60 (in a month) over 1/2 my life a Fighting Sioux Fan - who won't go down without a fight - Because the ncaa is wrong & the attempt to fight them was pathetic I'm glad Abe was not a UND Alum. Or we would be just now fighting the civil war - because all the natives would have been pushed into the pacific ocean - somethings are worth fighting for

Now research & write something nice about non UND Grad. Sioux Fans who I believe are the vast majority of paying customers & tell the arrogant writers who come on here to cool the rhetoric about us not loving the University. Hard to love those that have done so much to cut & run away from a fight. When there is still a chance. This whole thing is now about Fear & Politics - Not about saving the Name & discrediting & mud slinging You get what you give ........online

This whole Alumni thing is almost like a cult When & how did graduates become so compelled to spend their $ on their alma maters They must have professional fundraisers extraordinaire Universities do everything they can to get their communities to become their sports fans (Face it the Alums. don't stick around) But then those Fans should not have strong opinions & should Love the University - shame on you for thinking Fighting Sioux Fans are not your equals - when in fact they are the vast majority of the ones who pay to see the sporting events - not to mention pay the taxes to build & maintain the facilities Just more I'm smarter than you arrogance because I'm a alumni & your not Vote YES to show these snobs who really supports this State & Community
